AN ABSTRACT and SUMMARY of the several Returns made by the Established Clergy of Ireland, of the Population of their respective Parishes. May, 1814.

While these Sheets were at Press the writer met with an Account of the Population of Ireland, which had till then escaped his notice. It is to be found in the second part of " Dobbs's essay on the Trade and Improvement of Ireland," published in 1731, and contains an Account of the number of houses in the years 1712, 1718, 1725, and 1726. As these are avowedly taken from the books returned by the Collectors of the Hearth-money, and therefore rest on the same basis with those already noticed in the preceding pages as being drawn from the same source, it is evident that they can make no alteration in the conclusions formed therein; or rather, they serve to confirm the necessity of an enumeration founded upon principles of greater accuracy. The numbers, however, are here given in order to make the analysis of the attempts to solve this question as complete as possible. They are as follow:
